Panning and scrolling with tablet pen

Hi all,

Is there a way to scroll and pan with the tablet pen? Like the 'hand' button
that is found is many applications. Even suggestions for a way that it could
be implemented programatically would be appreciated.

Thanks,

There is no such feature.
One can only use the scrollbars.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Is there a sufficient API to develop such a feature?
Such that the mouse is clicked (or pen is tapped) that the distance moved in
any direction would be used to scroll in the relevant direction?

Thanks,
Omega.

What I did not have on mind when writing my last posting:
ON2010 gas a "panning hand" as a feature.

Therefore IMHO there would be no use in trying to create something of
your own.

Download the Office2010 Beta and install ON2010.
AFAICS your wish will be fulfilled.
